Reaction Steps

In the second method for forming the single enantiomer chroman diol, (2S) 2-hydroxymethyl-6-hydroxy-2,5,8-trimethylchroman for use as starting material in the present tocotrienol syntheses, a suitably monoprotected 2,5-dimethylhydroquinone is reacted with the compound 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,4-pentadiene to produce 2-vinyl-2,5,8-trimethylchroman-6-ol:
